I have never heard of the Boy Who Went to Heaven but apparently this guy was in a car crash when he was young and seriously injured, his skull came away from his spine. It was claimed he went to Heaven and met God and Jesus and all the angels. The stroy was published in a book and created a stir within the christian community and made millions for the christian publishing house...

Now that the boy is an adult and because the publishing house paid him nothing he has revealed that it was all a lie. I am shocked...umm...no I'm not.

Oh dear! Apparently the boy's been telling the Christian publishers it was a hoax since 2011, but they refused to listen because the book was a best seller.

Dear oh dear oh dear! Lying for Jesus. And profit. Don't forget the profit.
Edit: Yep, your link didn't work so I found a couple that did, Grinseed. No harm, no foul.
Thanks Sushi.
God is just making him say that he never went to heaven to test us. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I hear god makes the boy dig holes and bury dinosaur bones in the dark, too, Cog. Won't even let him have a torch. Or a shovel.
Cog, we just might have the makings of a substantial book/movie and Tshirt franchise on the basis of your claim. Interested?
"now says he didn't"
poor boy...that's what you get when greed for fame sinks in...
liar....
i won't say go to hell, i'd rather say..go to heaven..and worship and sing choir songs to your stupid god for all eternity....lets see if you you still what to stay in heaven...(who wants to sing choir songs for an eternity?)someone already said this here in AR, i just can't remember who was....
@Q
Well, for what it's worth, I say there are many who would choose hell over heaven if being in heaven meant having to hear ME sing for all eternity. Whatever torture they have in hell couldn't be nearly as bad as my singing.
Yea, we could start our own cult. We convince idiots that they have gone to heaven and then we force them to deny it. But we make them wear dinosaur bones around their necks. This could work!!!
It $eem$ all $o very plau$ible....
Meanwhile I csnt wait for the christisn publishing company's forthcoming statement. It should be the epitome of weasely worded snake oiled evasive double dutch newspeak.Popcorn?
Beer - (~)0 (~)0 First round is on me.
Its funny how a 6 year old convinced millions of christians that he actually went to heaven. Plus its not really a miracle because even if he did go to heaven why was god so eager to send him back.
God sent him back because he is more moral than the Pope. (Wait a minute, I've read the Bible, that can't be true.)
The apostrophes just confuse the embedder, copy and paste - the address works fine.
Ummm... wait... so Christians lie? Darn, can't believe anybody these days.
Thanks Kataclismic, it was the apostrohes, in the library, with the lead pipe. Url amended in OP without them. I remain such a Neanderthal with the internet.
